Logistics and Supply Chain Management
In Assignments 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, you will be building up a formal, researched justification report (one part at a time) that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product, service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer).
Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:
Problem Statement (for Question 1)
Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2)
Criteria (for Question 3)
Methods (for Question 4)
Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:
Describe in detail a problem at work, persuading and convincing the reader that it needs fixing.
Provide a detailed description of two (2) possible solutions (“alternatives”) that could be implemented to resolve the problem identified in Question 1.
Describe five (5) criteria that you will use to measure the worth of each alternative in Criterion 2. Note: The alternative that satisfies the most criteria to the highest degree will be the one you recommend later to your employer. Criteria are standards that the audience values and are therefore used to measure the worth of each alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efficiency, time it will take to implement, and practicality).
Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best recommended alternative to your employer.
Your assignment must:
Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor€™s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details, examples, and explanations.

Introduction
The history of quality management can be drawn all the way back to The Middle Ages. In 1911, the concept of quality took a huge leap forward when Frederick W. Taylor published ‘The Principles of Scientific Management’, using statistical theory in order to provide a framework for refining worker productivity in industrial organizations.
Actually, it was during the 1920’s when quality management systems, as it is known today, begun to surface. Product quality control was determined via inspections. Change and growth were then brought forth during the 1940’s by industry leaders and experts like Deming, Dodge, Juran and Roming (Jones, 2014).
During the first international quality management conference in 1969, Feigenbaum would first apply the phrase Total Quality Management. By the 1980’s, the Western culture would recognize Japan’s success and start to set and adhere to higher Total Quality Management guidelines (Boyer, 2009).
The U.S. Government would soon be accountable for making those guidelines and values clear with their development of the Malcolm Baldrige Award. Other countries, such as Europe, would follow in the United States’ track and come up with similar awards.
Specific directions companies are adopting in terms of strategic quality management includes: Creating a structure that upper management will follow and the organization as a whole, instituting several programs of education and training, and Permitting innovation and invention amongst their staff.
Evolution of Deming and Six Sigma program
Six Sigma is a business strategy that tries to find and eliminate causes of errors or defects in business processes by concentrating on outputs that are critical to customers (Antony, 2004).
